Today Sofitel announced that it will embrace wind power at its nine U.S. locations. But don’t expect to see windmills whirring away in the parking lot. The company will purchase its blustery new power source in the form of renewable energy certificates from wind energy supplier Community Energy. The move will allow Sofitel to offset approximately 2 million pounds of carbon dioxide annually and makes it the first hotel chain to become an EPA Green Power Partner. We applaud Sofitel for going green!
